The party's members
are reportedly willing to accept a compromise that would enable Netanyahu to remain premier first:
Support is growing within Blue and White to accept a compromise proposal that would initially enable Benjamin Netanyahu to remain prime minister, a source close to party leader Benny Gantz said Thursday night.
President Reuven Rivlin’s plan calls for Netanyahu to be prime minister first and then take an extended break while facing corruption charges. According to the plan, Gantz would take Netanyahu’s place as prime minister after initially serving as vice prime minister.
Rivlin tasked Gantz with forming a government on Wednesday night. Thursday was the first of 28 days in which the Blue and White leader has the exclusive right to build a coalition.
In order to accept Rivlin’s proposal, Gantz would have to return the mandate. Sources in the party claimed that a majority of Blue and White’s 33 MKs are at least in favor of using Rivlin’s plan as a basis for negotiations with Likud.
[...] Sources in Blue and White said there is far from a majority in the faction that supports forming a narrow government backed from the outside by the Joint List in a parliamentary safety net. The sources said Gantz himself opposes the idea, even if it ends up being the only government Gantz could form in which he serves as prime minister from day one.
Channel 12 reported that one possibility will be to give Likud a choice between Netanyahu going first as prime minister and Netanyahu taking his entire bloc of 55 right-wing and Orthodox MKs into the coalition. The report said Likud would be told that it could only keep one of those two demands.
I'd say the Likud should keep both options. We'll see what happens from here.

FORGOTTEN JIHAD MASSACRE AT THE OLYMPICS
=============================================
Most people who are less than 60 years old
do not remember how Arab Muslim terrorists
murdered 5 Israeli athletes and 6 Israeli
coaches at the 1972 Olympics in Munich:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munich_massacre
Leftists and Socialists and Progressives do not
want anyone to remember this incident, because
it contradicts their official narrative which
claims that Arabs and Muslims are innocent victims,
and also claims that Israelis and Jews are aggressors.
Arabs and Muslims were not satisfied with
the number of Jews they killed, so in 1973,
they launched an attack against Israel,
on the most holy day of the Jewish calendar.
That attack is remembered as The Yom Kippur War.

Leftists and Socialists and Progressives do not
want anyone to remember this war, because many
Arab nations attacking Israel on the most holy day
of the Jewish calendar contradicts the official
Leftist narrative which claims that Arabs and Muslims
are innocent victims, as innocent and also claims
that Israelis and Jews are violent aggressors.
